What this tool does
Airbnb is replacing the old split fee (host 3%, guest pays the rest) with a single host-paid service fee of 15.5% (16% for Brazil and Mexico listings), where the price you set is the price the guest sees. This calculator models both fee models over a set of booked nights, including your cleaning fee income and your own operating costs.

Frequently asked questions
Airbnb is moving hosts to a single host-paid fee of 15.5% (16% in Brazil and Mexico). Under the older split-fee model the host paid 3% and the guest paid a separate service fee on top.
Not necessarily — under the single fee the guest sees your set price with nothing added, while under split fee a $100 price showed to guests at roughly $115. Airbnb's own example lands the host at $97 in both models when prices are adjusted.
Yes. The service fee applies to the booking subtotal, which includes the cleaning fee you charge.
To match split-fee earnings, raise your nightly price so that price × (1 − 0.155) equals your old payout — roughly a 14–15% increase on the old rate in Airbnb's worked example.
No separate guest service fee is added; the displayed price is the set price (taxes may still apply depending on jurisdiction).
